😟 Worried Face Emoji — Meaning & Usage
Smileys & People😢Negative📋 Copied 27.5K times
Description
Raised eyebrows pulled together, slight frown, wide eyes — this face is watching something go wrong in slow motion and can't do anything about it. It's the in-between of concern: more anxious than 😕 (confused) but not as panicked as 😨 (fearful). People send it when they're waiting for test results, watching a friend make a questionable decision, or reading a news headline that starts with "Breaking." It's empathetic too — a go-to reply when someone shares bad news and you want to show you care.
When to Use
Use when feeling worried, anxious, or concerned about a situation.
Example Usage
- “Hope everything is okay 😟”
- “This is concerning 😟”
- “A bit worried about this 😟”
